Going through the kitchen cabinets at home I spotted a couple of packages of oats. I like my porridge in the morning but it is going in seasons. I go mad for a week and I stock up for a month and then I get bored.
Let’s find a new life to those poor porridge oats hiding in the kitchen.
Mornings are definitely better with your own Granola!
A great song : The Killing Moon by Echo and the Bunnymen.
Ingredients
- 3 Cups of Oats.
- 1 Cup with a mix of your favorite nuts: walnuts, sunflower seeds, linseed, almonds…
- 1 Cup with a mix of sultanas, prunes, dates, figs…
- 1/4 Cup of Honey.
- 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup.
- A tea spoon of Cinnamon powder.
- 1 Table spoon sunflower oil + 1 table spoon apple juice.
- A pinch of salt.
Preparation
Preheat the oven at 160 degrees.
Mix in a bowl all the ingredients except the Maple Syrup and the dried fruit. Mix well and place in a baking tray with baking paper.
Total baking time is 25-30 minutes. Every 7-8 turn around the granola with a spatula to make sure all become golden and crusty.
After 20 minutes, add the Maple Syrup and dried fruits. Mix well and bake another 5-10 minutes.
Let it cool down completely and keep in a closed container.

I eat a lot of granola but haven’t made it in a while … your recipe will inspire me to bake some again!
The great thing about homemade granola is you can choose your own favorites to put in the mic
I’m busy frantically emptying my pantry ready for a big move. I’ve been wondering what to do with my stash of nuts, seeds and oats. I’ve also run out of granola and breakfast cereal, so will try this and kill 2 birds 🙂 Perfect timing, thank you. It looks delicious!!!
Granola or muesli was one of the first things we made in high school cooking class. I never made it again to be honest! I love the name Echo & The Bunnymen. Must check it out.
I well remember Echo & the Bunnymen from way back. Back when we started making our own muesli. About 20 years ago.
I’ve never made granola, but I do love it. Thanks for the recipe!
This I’m going to do … today, of my old oats! Thanks for this and thank you for the music.
Granola and yoghurt, my favourite fast breakfast! Yum!
Love love love, that is what I have for breakfast almost everyday. And I haven’t listened to Echo and the Bunnymen for years! Thanks for the reminder, a y por cierto, ya estoy viviendo en tu ciudad….MADRID! 🙂
Great! No te pierdas un tapeo en La Castela o una cena en Viridiana. Disfrutalo!
Gracias!!! Fantastico, ya los probare y te contare!
Can’t wait to make this. I have been eyeing “granola nuts” on Smitten Kitchen too…thinking maybe I’ll mix the two recipes together. And in general, I LOVE the recipe plus music title format. Cooking and music are made for each other! Kinda like hiking and eating. Good stuff.
I do love granola in the morning!
Just LOVE your choice of music! Don’t suppose you’re on Spotify so that I can steal your playlists?
